Several north Georgians receive no-cost-to-client flu shots

Press Release February 12, 2018 , by Jason Beck

DALTON, Ga. – Since health departments in north Georgia began providing flu shots at no cost to clients this week, 640 residents have taken advantage of the offer and others are urged to do the same while supplies last. This number contrasts favorably to the total of 190 flu shots provided by the health departments during the previous week.

Flu activity continues to be widespread in the U.S., and last week, the number of flu-related deaths in Georgia sharply increased, prompting public health departments in Cherokee, Fannin, Gilmer, Murray, Pickens and Whitfield Counties to begin providing flu shots at no cost to residents who have not yet been vaccinated. Healthcare plans are billed for clients who have coverage, and there is no charge to anyone who is not insured. No appointment is necessary – “walk-ins” are welcome.

The current flu vaccine is highly effective against most influenza strains that are now circulating, and county health departments in north Georgia also have a high-dose flu vaccine for people ages 65 and older, providing them with increased protection.

It is not too late to get a flu shot. This flu season has not yet peaked, and it could last several more weeks. Once vaccinated, it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to reach its full protective potential. Therefore, it is important to receive a flu shot right away.

Locations and phone numbers for the no-cost-to-client flu shots at county health departments in
north Georgia are:

Cherokee County Health Department: 1219 Univeter Road, Canton, GA 30115, 770-345-7371
and 7545 North Main Street, Suite 100, Woodstock, GA 30188, 770-928-0133;
Fannin County Health Department: 95 Ouida Street, Blue Ridge, GA 30513, 706-632-3023;
Gilmer County Health Department: 28 Southside Church Street, Ellijay, GA 30540, 706-635-4363;
Murray County Health Department: 709 Old Dalton-Ellijay Road, Chatsworth, GA 30705, 706-695-4585;
Pickens County Health Department: 60 Health Way, Jasper, GA 30143, 706-253-2821; and
Whitfield County Health Department: 800 Professional Boulevard, Dalton, GA 30720, 706-226-
2621.

Health officials also remind the public that flu is extremely contagious and can spread easily from person to person; therefore, anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms – such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue or nausea – is urged to stay home during the severest symptoms and for at least 24 hours after fever is gone. Parents should keep children who are sick with the flu at home from school, and anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms should stay away from places such as hospitals and long-term care facilities where people are more at risk for developing severe complications if sick with the flu.

More information about preventing the spread of flu, such as frequent handwashing and covering coughs and sneezes, is on the North Georgia Health District website at http://nghd.org/pr/34-/938-widespread-flu-in-georgia.html.

Georgia DOT Continues Asphalt Repair

News November 1, 2017 , by Admin Assistant

Asphalt Repair Continues on HWY 52 in Murray County

Chatsworth, Ga. – Georgia DOT advises motorists on State Route (SR) 52 in Murray County that a maintenance crew continues today its work on repairing and deep patching the deteriorating asphalt spots on this highway. Work will proceed daily Tuesday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. This maintenance operation and the temporary lane closure it necessitates are weather permitting and subject to change.

It is the Georgia DOT policy to repair and maintain Georgia interstates and state highways promptly, efficiently and economically using well-planned activities, proper equipment, and skilled and dedicated employees. Prompt repair of small asphalt pavement defects has significant impacts on reducing maintenance costs. Deep patching which will be used in this maintenance operation is one of the methods Georgia DOT uses to repair deteriorated, settled, cracking and dislodged pavement.

You know that construction work zones are dangerous, but do you know that they are not always stationary? Moving work zones that conduct maintenance activities like litter pickup, asphalt repair, mowing, edge pavement repair, pavement marking and sweeping may move slowly and stop intermittently. Treat moving work zones like any other – Pay Attention – Slow Down – Watch for Workers. And always, expect the unexpected. Work zone safety is in your hands.

BREAKING: Missing hikers located in Cohutta Wilderness

News April 30, 2018 , by Jason Beck

CISCO, Ga. – Seven missing hikers, including four children, have been located in the Cohutta Wilderness after a joint rescue effort of the West Polk (Tennessee) Volunteer Fire and Rescue (WPVFR) and rescues teams from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR), Murray County, Georgia, and Bradley County, Tennessee, according to West Polk Fire Chief Keith Jeske.

According to reports, the hikers were reported missing Sunday evening, April 29, in the vicinity of Jacks River Falls. Jeske could not verify what trail or access point to the falls area the group had taken.

Jeske reported the conditions of the hikers were unknown and rescue teams were still in the process of extracting the hikers from the wilderness area as of 11:30 a.m. Monday morning. Updates from the WPVFR Facebook page say a GDNR helicopter spotted the group on the Rice Camp Trail, a popular foot trail used to access the Jacks River Falls area.

The 37,000-acre Cohutta Wilderness, which includes the falls area, is situated mostly on the southern side of the Tennessee/Georgia state line, and a number of access trails originate in both states leading into the wilderness area.

Please continue to follow FetchYourNews as details emerge on this rescue.
